I've bought a few bag and bagless ones but when sucking up plaster,
brick and wood dust they all block up in no time and then cleaning
their so-called washable filters does little except to set harden the
crap onto it.

Just looking for a decent, reliable vacuum cleaner under £100 with a
decent capacity. Is this possible?


I haven't had any problems with one of these:

It has so far coped with cleaning up the lime plaster stripping in a
room, and all the woodworking/router dust extraction I have done since I
brought it, only had it since the beginning of the year though.

I just had a look at the 1200 (the one with the power socket) but it
seems to be quite small with a huge filter so not much space for
"suckings". Don't you find that it fills-up fast?
